I have no affiliation with the organizers aside from having sponsored the conference at the Bronze level. However, I think they did a great job, and I found that this conference experience was a lot better in almost every important respect than Drupalcon DC. Of course, it's much harder to pull off a an event for 1400 people than for 800 people, but we have to give the Paris team proper credit. This is my 3rd conference now (after Szeged and DC) and in my opinion this was the best one yet.

I'm really shocked and disappointed to come across such a vicious, anonymous comment in a public forum (being that this site is on Drupal planet). In fact, if I were Matthew Saunders, I would remove your comment altogether.

If for whatever reason you feel strongly about how this conference was poorly run and want to make a statement, you should put it up on your own website, under your own name.
